► ARCHIVE FILE: TIMEX — BRAND HISTORY
Timex descends from the Waterbury Clock Company, founded in 1854 in Connecticut's Naugatuck Valley, a region so dense with clockmakers it was called the Switzerland of America. Waterbury helped invent the cheap, honest American watch: the Ingersoll Yankee of 1896, built by Waterbury and sold for one dollar, was advertised as the watch that made the dollar famous, and the Mickey Mouse watch of 1933 sold so well it pulled the company through the Depression.
